#030: 7 Ways You Can Become A Lifestyle Learner [Podcast]

What does it mean to be a Lifestyle Learner? How can you gain the knowledge and expertise in an area of interest? Is learning a VALUE, a DISCIPLINE, or both? Is it possible to gain a world class education outside of a university or college setting? Today, we’re going to be looking at these questions, and talking about 7 Ways You Can Become A Lifestyle Learner.

Spiritual Principle

“Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands seek guidance.” – Proverbs 1:5 (ESV)

“Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not be ashamed …” – II Timothy 2:15 (KJV)

Becoming a lifelong learner begins with the understanding that the acquisition of new knowledge is the key to successful and effective living. In fact, the moment we suppose that we have arrived or know all we need to know, is the very moment we begin to diminish and become irrelevant and of no worth. Learning, growing, feeding our minds, developing our potential are all pre-requisites to significant opportunities coming our way

For me, learning is one of my top 5 values. I crave knowing … I am always looking for ways to enhance or build my knowledge base. Classic thinking is that one goes to school, graduates, goes to college, gets a job, and BAM, success is inevitable. Amongst evangelical Christians, one gets saved, attends church once per week, hears a sermon (remembers less than 1% of the content shared), and expects to live a victorious, powerful, purpose filled, blessed life.

I want to encourage you today to become a LIFESTYLE LEARNER. Turn off the TV, plug in a CD, DVD, or electronic resource and LEARN. Turn off Sports Radio, Talk Shows, and use the precious time you have to GROW YOUR MIND.

Many times, the reason people never realize their full potential is because God, in his graciousness, never put us in a position where we would shame ourselves by not being prepared for the moment. You have powerful potential … What will you do with it?

One thought on “#030: 7 Ways You Can Become A Lifestyle Learner [Podcast]”

I subscribe to audible and love it. In addition, I’ve
learned to take time to think about what I’m learning through books,
experiences, bible and try to engage myself in that process.

You’ve stated we can become all God has intended us to become
and this is so true. I would say, in addition to that thought, many followers
of Christ do not know what God’s plans are for them or that God has called them
to do a certain work in this life. It seems to me getting to heaven was the
goal and once achieved Christians are lost. I believe we all need to “find the
call” for our life. Yes, find it, but that takes works and many don’t want to
do the work. It is not so much that people don’t want to know but it can be
painful to “find the call”.

In addition, the system of the world sets us up for failure.
The system is to motivate us to do work to change our situations for the sake
of happiness, peace and money. It would do us all good if we “find the call”
for our life first, then go from there. Motivation before vocation can lead to
frustration. Jesus Himself said to seek the kingdom first, then all else
follows. I would say if we took the time to look for our life work, God’s plan,
vocation or whatever we call it, the motivation to pursue that work would
follow.

Thanks for the podcast: you are good at what you do.
